WQ.156/2023
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER
BY DEPUTY M.R.SCOTT OF ST. BRELADE QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 3rd APRIL 2023 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON WEDNESDAY 12th APRIL 2023
Question
“Will the Chief Minister explain to what extent, if any, changes to the role of the Chief Executive were discussed with the outgoing Chief Executive and, if they were discussed, what concerns, if any, were raised by the Chief Executive, and what is the Chief Minister’s assessment of the contribution such discussions made to the Chief Executive’s decision to resign from her position?”
Answer
The Chief Executive and I meet regularly to discuss issues relating to our roles and responsibilities. This included the role of the Chief Executive as part of the formation and refinement of the Cabinet Office structure. The proposals for the structure of the Cabinet Office were made by the Chief Executive and, accordingly, no concerns were raised by the Chief Executive. I therefore do not consider that these discussions were related to the Chief Executive’s decision to resign.
The Chief Executive is also involved in informing the future requirements of the role. The discussions include the various demands on the post holder given the breadth and depth of knowledge and time required and the split between the role as a strategic adviser whilst leading a significantly operationally, service-based organisation.
The Chief Executive continues to provide advice on these matters as the successor role and requirements are developed.
